Function
Thermostatic heads (brochure: Thermostatic head K with contact or immersion sensor and/or thermostatic heads) are used for
proportional control without auxiliary power. when the temperature rises, the angled B-aB passage is closed, and the straight
a-aB passage is opened. The emo 1, emo eiB, emolon, and/or emo 3 / emo 3/230 motorized actuators are used for proportional and/or three-step control with auxiliary power (brochure: emo, emo eiB, emolon). The emo T (brochure: emo T)
thermal actuator is used for two-step control with auxiliary power. in the model normally open (no), the angled B-aB passage
is open without, and the straight a-aB passage is closed without current. in the model, normally closed (nc), the angled B-aB
passage is closed without current, and the straight a-aB passage is open without current. The models with continuously adjustable presetting enable the adjustment of the necessary volume flow in the aB outlet. To preset, the setting key is slipped onto
the valve insert, and the desired value is set. The setting values are displayed on the front of the valve insert. without an instrument, the presetting cannot be manipulated by unauthorised persons.

For cooling, the connection of inlets a and B must be exchanged.

The effective direction of the emo 1/3/eiB/lon motorized actuators is determined by the controller or the connection.

Information
To prevent damage and incrustation in hot water heating systems, the composition of the heat transfer medium should meet
vDi [German engineer association] directive 2035. The instruction leaflet of the vdTv [German association of Technical
inspection authorities] 1466/aGFw Fw 510 must be observed for industrial and long-distance energy systems. mineral oil
or mineral-oil based lubricants of all kinds in the heat transfer medium lead to considerable swelling and, in most cases, to a
failure of ePDm seals. when using non-nitrite anti-freeze and anti-corrosive agents based on ethylene glycol, please read the
respective particulars-especially on the concentration of the individual additives-in the manufacturers documentation.

The kv value corresponds with the flow in angular direction B-aB or in straight direction a-aB when the valve cone is in the
middle respectively. The mixing ratio is then 50 %.
The Kvs value corresponds with the flow in angular direction B-aB when the valve is fully open, or with the flow in straight
direction a-aB when the valve is closed.
